Jeez Johns and Edwards overrated in the one thread ? Thats a big call m8. Both players step up in the big games and can turn any game around. For me thats what made or makes them world class.

I don't get why you think John's is over-rated simply on the basis of his stint in the UK last year... People may have expected the world from him, but that doesn't change the fact that he is still UNDOUBTEDLY one of the greatest rugby league players of all time...
Seriously, just look at how different the Blues and Knights are when he's there! The Knights lost almost every match last year untill he came back, and then went on to win 8 straight at the end of the season, knocking over several big teams! NSW lost a tight first match to Qld in Origin 1 last year, then Johns comes back and we carve them in the last 2! It's pretty hard to call him over-rated when he does stuff like that... I can't remember many Lions players ever coming back from injuries that saw them see a mere 220 mins of match time in 18 months, to then play with unprecedented form in a vital match against the Kangaroos (which is what Johns did for NSW in Origin 2 last year)... but then, we won't kid ourselves, the UK doesn't produce players of Lockyer/Johns quality.

That would be Tim Henman
Has there been any other athlete less deserving of the media attention he gets than Henman?
Murray is well on his way.

Take Joey's place? No one can take Joey's place... But maybe a halves pairing of Barrett and Gower would work, they tried it in the test team, but didn't give it enough time and they struggled a bit, but if they gel I reckon they'd be very effective.
But no, there is no way we'll be embarrassing Queensland in the same way we have been in the last couple years without Johns...

I'm still not believing Johns has quit rep footy
Its becoming evident selectors will struggle to pick a decent #7......Kimmorley is crap and is injured anyways
I'd rather Gower/Cambell/Barret/Orford type structure
If Anasta gets picked, I am punting for the Maroons and chucking $50.00 on em.
I will never support Braith Anasta..........until he proves to everyone he is rep material.
HE IS THE MOST OVERRATED FOOTY PLAYER IN THE GAME TODAY!!!!

No, that would be Brett Finch
. Seriously though, Braith got picked last year because he was a stand out in a very crap Bulldogs team, and he played well at Origin level I thought. But on his form this year there is no way he will get picked... He's just not playing good enough footy.
Still I'd have Braith over Finch or Kimmorley any day of the week!

I agree Finch,Anasta n Kimmorley CANNOT be picked surely........u never know with Gould's hand playing god.Originally posted by sanzar+Apr 20 2006, 01:49 PM-->No, that would be Brett Finch

Hopefully Orford hits some form like he did with Melbourne.

Yeah... I'm not a fan of Orford to be honest. I just think he's still a bit too fickle, sorta like Finch, but not as bad... I'd be much more comfortable with a Barret + Gower combination. They've both played on the biggest stage and know what's required.Originally posted by ak47+Apr 20 2006, 02:05 PM-->I agree Finch,Anasta n Kimmorley CANNOT be picked surely........u never know with Gould's hand playing god.

i had a feeling johns will play SOO this year
and its all falling into place
Joey and Kennedy have been slammed by the ARL, coz they are picking and choosing which reps games they wanna play
The ARL said, u either rep eligible or not................not which rep game u wanna play
Joey n Kennedy have said they wanna play ANZAC but NOT SOO
ARL countered by saying, if u wanna play ANZAC, we can pick you for SOO.
either all in or all out
The ARL wont tolerate players thinking they are bigger than the sport itslef by choosing which rep games they want to play
I agree with ARL stance on this
